The marine laboratory of the Department of Marine Sciences, Univerity of Puerto Rico is uniquely situated to provide an easy access to a wide variety of tropical marine habitats. The field station has a permanent resident staff and a number of well equipped laboratories. Departmental faculty have in recent years demonstrated an increased productivity in terms of publications and grant support for basic research. At the same time, the number of outside scientists desiring to utilize the Department's field station as a base for their own or collaborative research has also increased. Presently, a number of U.S. mainland and foreign scientists regularly utilize the Department's facilities. However, visitor demand has reached a point where the present accommodations are no longer adequate. This project provides funds for construction of a dry laboratory for use principally by visiting scientists, a wet laboratory which will be suitable for controlled-environment experimentation, and equipment. The equipment items are commonly requested for use by visitors.

波多黎各大学海洋科学系的海洋实验室位于独特的位置，可以方便地进入各种热带海洋栖息地。该实地站有常驻工作人员和一些设备良好的实验室。近年来，系内教师在发表论文和资助基础研究方面的生产力有所提高。与此同时，希望利用该部的外地站作为他们自己或合作研究基地的外部科学家的人数也有所增加。目前，许多美国本土和外国科学家经常使用该部门的设施。然而，游客的需求已经达到了一个点，目前的住宿条件不再足够。本项目提供资金建设一个主要供访问科学家使用的干实验室、一个适合于受控环境实验的湿实验室和设备。设备项目通常要求访客使用。
